American democracy has a lineage of written records that we can trace to show the development of our nation, and how each document builds on those before it to make our foundation of freedom stronger. In this edition of America's Documents of Freedom, we look at the documents conceived in the very early years of our republic. Educators from noted American universities share their insights on: The Alien and Sedition Acts (1798) Louisiana Purchase (1803) Marbury v. Madison (1803) Madison's Declaration of War (1812) and The Treaty of Ghent (1814).
